Adidas Ice Dive: A Grapefruit fougere released before it was cool

So Bleu de Chanel has slowly gained popularity after its initial panning by critics as a generic blue scent. Well I blind bought an absolute gem of a blue fragrance that did the grapefruit fougere years before Bleu de Chanel and considering we're talking Adidas, it was quite the shock, I'm talking about the unexpectedly wonderful Ice Dive. Released in 2001 this thing sells for $10 for 100 mL and is shockingly well done for its price point. It has a strong Grapefruit accord with mint at the top making it quite reminiscent of Chanel's effort and dries down to a white musk with a tiny bit of vanilla with the fresh grapefruit still poking through.

This would make an ideal gym scent or for the budget conscious because for the price, this scent is unbeatable. A wonderful addition to your summer wardrobe as it's not cloying and has little in the way of project or longevity (about 4 hours). I sampled some of the other Adidas fragrances, but this is head and shoulders above those. A definite buy especially if you're a grapefruit fan as this has a stellar fresh grapefruit note.

I'd seen this thread pop up a few times over the last day or two which sparked my interest to look for this. I was getting some shopping and I couldn't help but walk down the medicines/fragrances/cosmetics etc aisle.. I immediately saw this on discount for £1.50. I'd decided to stop buying fragrances for a while but I thought to myself, that's less than a cup of coffee! So I picked it up out of curiosity. Will try it later tonight!

Bought a full bottle because of this thread. Really enjoying it not my favorite and performance is pretty bad but that could come in handy in some situations. I feel like this would be an awesome gift because it doesn't smell cheap at all. Not expensive but definitely smells like its worth more than the 8 dollars i spent on a 100ml bottle.
